Good afternoon Summer  I hope Baz hasn't cursed Yogi

Good afternoon moonie  Congratulations on managing to avoid the rain. There's some light rain here but is quite breezy,

Good afternoon Skylark I hope your day is alright

Great clip.

I could be wrong but I think the dog was actually pouncing on the baby's moving shadow on the floor. It reminded me of an arctic fox when it hears prey deep under the snow and pounces to dig down to get it.

I saw this ad last night and found it very moving.

However there seems to be some negative reaction, calling it "crass" and "a cynical attempt to cash in on the 100th anniversary of WW1".

I think the critics fail to realise that it was made in association with the RBL which will no doubt benefit from it.

Hi Moonie, hope you are well.

Hi Skylark, hope to catch up with you later.

lol Summer and El, at the curse of Baz.

My neck is much better now and my headache has lifted.

Yogi, I'm glad your neck has eased and your headache gone

The critics against the Sainsburys ad haven't bothered to read what Sainsburys and the Royal British Legion have said:

What a shame critics have to cast a shadow on a thoughtful creation I think it's a touching ad

Hi moonie & skylark

Yes i agree . 


Hi and hi to moonie. 
Glad the neck and headache better Yogi. Thanks El, had a busy morning , but productive   Hoping for a nice quiet afternoon , if possible !! x

Hi moonie & skylark

I too watched the ad last night and I just thought it was so moving.  I don't take any notice of critics, I think the meaning came through so clearly.  In the real incident the men on both sides sadly went back to fighting each other, but there was no argument between them, just between leaders who want power.  Sad in a way but very moving that the humanity of ordinary people reaching out to each other shone through at Christmas time, even if only for a little while.

I am glad you stiff neck and headache has eased Yogi.  Hi to moonie and Skylark

 Thanks for that link, El. I hope someone posts it over on DS, where I saw the crticism. I'm not a member, so I can't do it myself.

And that's how I saw the ad too.

Well said squiggle and hope so too Yogi, i am not on DS myself , but hopefully someone will   x

Yogi, I'm not a member of DS either so can't post it.

I've now found this link on the British Royal Legion website:

http://www.britishlegion.org.u...-truce-story-to-life

which says much the same but the critics wouldn't be able to say it's just a marketing ploy by Sainsburys.

Thanks El. There are other people on DS saying that they found the advert touching and that RBL will benefit from it, so hopefully the links you have posted will also find their way there.

Afternoon Velvet.

Weather has been awful here too. Keira is having a bit of a sulk because we haven't been out either - no doubt, she'll also have a maddie later on.

Awww poor Keira 

Like the idea of a maddie 

Hi Yogi 

Not to bad ta. RL stuff 

Glad you're feeling better 

She needs to remember she's nearly ten (70 in human years) and behave herself.

A very active pensioner by all accounts then ?  

 Aww, she likes her comforts.

More active than her much younger owner.

 RL can be a right pain at times.

saw this on FB - it's gorgeous

night yogi summer velvet and everybody

Good morning everyone.

Apologies for disappearing last night, without saying goodnight.

Weather is dry but very cloudy, with rain forecast for later.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

Lots of rain during the night here. The band of rain seems to be moving away and it's forecast to be dry for the rest of the day.

I hope none of you get drowned today if you have to go out. Here's something for you if you do need to:

 Thanks El, I've checked out the 10 day forecast for my area and I think I might need some flippers to go with that snorkel.

Here you are, Yogi

 Thaks El, and I love the colour.

Yogi, the colour should be duck blue and thay was the closest I could find

 Good choice.

Morning wet, grey and chilly here this morning

Yogi hope everything was ok last night

I was fine, Summer, I just forgot to say goodnight to everyone.

Good morning everyone, not too bad weatherwise here so far. Doesn't look like I'm going to be needing the snorkel and flippers here EL but they are lovely

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, i'm glad you missed the worst of the rain. Here, it's a lot better now and there's some blue sky

Re squiggle's youtube clip of a dog teaching a baby how to bounce, Saint has posted another clip which is worth watching, I think you will love it

Skylark, I think the rain in your area is coming to an end in the next hour, I hope so

Afternoon Velvet.
